Before
The clients are wine collectors, and enjoy hosting gatherings in which they can serve wine from their collection. The problem was that they did not have a dedicated space to do so. With two kids, the main living areas were not conductive to entertain while imbibing in adult beverages. The home was built in the 1920’s, and is quite sturdy and spacious, but there was not any place on the main floor where an adult haven could of been created. The basement had plenty of space, but nowhere to put the wine cooling system/room. There was a closet under the stairway where the clients had kept their wine; this was the starting point. Another issue regarding the basement was that it was currently used for exercising, as well as drum lessons. It was important that space was kept for that! Thankfully, the drums were no longer being used so out they went. The area under the stairway was not large, although it was enough to hold about 140 bottles of wine, and the clients were good with that!
